Your John Deere tractor vehicle identification number is also known as a product identification number, serial number or lawn mower identification number. These 13 to 17 letters and numbers can provide important information about your tractor, such as the year it was made, where the engine was manufactured, its emission levels, its security code and its transmission designation. In addition, each serial number is unique to a specific mower, and can be used to track and identify your machine.
Locate the VIN according to your specific John Deere tractor. For John Deere steel-deck walk-behind mowers, stand behind the mower and locate the VIN on the left side of the mower deck. For John Deere 100 Series tractors, stand behind the tractor and locate the VIN on the frame near the back left wheel. For John Deere zero-turn mowers, face the back of the mower, lift the seat and locate the VIN at the top of the frame on the right side. All VINs are on a sticker that states 'Manufactured by John Deere.' Most VINs will be either 13 or 17 letters or numbers, but units built in the '60s and '70s may only have five or six letters or numbers.
Identify the first two letters or numbers in a 13-symbol VIN or the first three letters or numbers in a 17-symbol VIN; this is the factory code (also known as engine manufacturer). For instance, in the John Deere VIN CD6068G123456, CD is the factory code, and mowers with the factory code CD were manufactured Saran, France.
Identify the next four letters and numbers after the factory code, which will be positions three to six in a 13-symbol VIN, or positions four to seven in a 17-symbol VIN. This is the model number. For instance, in the John Deere VIN CD6068G123456, 6068 is the model number.

Identify the letter in position seven in a 13-symbol VIN. This is the emissions level designation. In order of least to highest emissions, B means the mower is non-emissions certified; C means it's a Tier 1; G is Tier 2 and L is Tier 3. For instance, in the John Deere VIN CD6068G123456, G indicates a Tier 2 emissions level. VINs with 17 letters and numbers do not have an emissions level designation.
Identify the last six letters and numbers in a 13-symbol VIN or the last five digits in a 17-symbol VIN. This is the serial number and is unique to your specific tractor. The serial number can be used to track and identify individual John Deere tractors.
Identify the letter and numbers in positions nine through 12 in a 17-symbol VIN. In order, these identify the security code, calender year of manufacture, transmission code, and wheel or track designation. The calender year of manufacture will be denoted by an A for 2010, B for 2011 and so on. The transmission code will be denoted with an A, C, D, E, H, P or R. The wheel or track designation will denote a 0 for wheel or a 9 for track. VINs with 13 letters and numbers do not include this information.
Tip
For information regarding older John Deere tractors with codes that have five or six numbers and letters, visit your local John Deere dealership or contact John Deere through its online customer service form.
Interpretations of the transmission code of a 17-symbol John Deere VIN is:
A = AutoQuad with left-hand reverser C = CommandQuad D = IVT E = Scraper tractor configuration H = PowrQuad or Manual Shift transmission P = PowerShift transmission R = PowrQuad with left-hand reverser

Here are the serial numbers, by year, for the JD450 through JD450G models.

There is an overlap in 1975 thru 1976 where JD450B and 450C models were made concurrently. We do not know the exact serial number of the last JD450B as a result.
The main differences between the JD450B and JD450C are that the C went to a 4/219 CID Turbocharged engine from the 4/219 CID normally aspirated engine in the JD450B. Also, the JD450C changed from dry to wet steering clutches.
However, there are some late JD450B's out there with wet steering clutches. The JD450B units were produced along with the JD450C until the demand for the non-turbo engine dropped off. The JD450B units changed over to the wet steering clutches used in the JD450C when the stock of dry-type steering clutch parts was depleted.
JD450C
1974 191829 - 219515
1975 219516 - 240367
1976 240368 - 261217
1977 261218 - 287194
1978 287195 - 313947
1979 313948 - 340909
1980 340910 - 355420
1981 355421 - 372281
1982 372282 - 389142
1983 389143 - ?

This makes little sense to me, actually. The serial number list says that the JD450D started in 1982 just past the serial number shown for the start of the JD450C 1983 production. In 1984, the serial numbers jump to 700010, and I can't believe Deere made a couple hundred thousand 450D's in 1982!

1983 700010 - 703984
1984 703985 - 711936
1985 711937 - End (probably 715503)
JD450E
1985 715504 - 725999
1986 726000 - 733269
1987 733270 - 741668
1988 741669 - ?
Here we go again with another overlap. Just go with it, figuring on the usual reason of exhausting some factory parts stock in what is called a 'running change'.
JD450G
1987 736319 - 742813
1988 742814 - 755244

Note that there's no JD450F. That's a savvy marketing idea. Who wants to buy an 'F' in anything??
The source of the data is from a farm equipment quick reference guide that's intended to assist dealers in determining the year and current market value of trade-in equipment.
The guide as such only lists the beginning serial number for each year. I'm making the reasonable presumption that the last serial number for any given year is one less than the starting serial number for the successive year.
Thanks to Digitup for sharing the relevent pages from his guide with us so we can determine what year a given machine is.
